Railpictures.ca - Shaun Hinz Photo: Here we have the DOW 1007 switching cars into the large DOW Canada facility at Sarnia, Ontario. Located just south of the main CSX yard cars were switched in and out of the plant by the 1007 and left on the “old C&O main” as seen in the photo. Sadly this is all gone now with the DOW facility closing, the tracks were removed and most of the plant was demolished. Thankfully the switcher was sold to VIP Rail in Sarnia and lives on. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Very Nice! I have fond memories of that unit and that site from when I worked there as a co-op student in 2001. The site was actually a collection of a half-dozen or more relatively small plants, which ultimately couldn’t compete with larger facilities in Alberta and Texas.
